Covid Boosters
The Autumn/Winter Vaccination Programme starts in September and is set to include Covid boosters and flu jabs.
We are working with our GP federation, Alliance for Better Care, to deliver our Covid vaccinations and will be running regular clinics at the Clair Hall + East Grinstead vaccination site. As per current government guidelines, the Covid booster programme covers patients aged 50+, as well as health and care workers and those who are deemed clinically vulnerable. However, if you wish to check your eligibility, we ask that you do so via the NHS website. Should you have any questions relating specifically to the programme, please call 119.
Appointments can be booked via the NHS website or you can check the Alliance for Better Care Walk-In Clinic page.
We will be contacting all patients who are eligible for a flu vaccination directly and inviting them to receive their annual dose at our practice. Please await further information on this.
While this next phase of the Covid vaccination programme focuses on the delivery of booster doses to eligible patients, we continue to welcome patients aged five and upwards for first and second doses of the Covid vaccine. Simply book via the NHS website or attend one of the appropriate Alliance for Better Care Walk-In Clinics.
